A Trequartista needs a lot of free space and creative freedom. Since he will not do any forward runs without ball, he should be the playmaker who directly receives the ball from the central or defense midfielders through simple passes. You could also set the Trequartista as the Targetman in...

Lewandowski has a very low value for composure at the beginning (2011/12) compared to other strikers, i think only around 10. One really needs to fix this (individual training focus) and maybe teach him "places shots". Then he will be deadly in his later career. I use him as AF/A when playing...

Hi Dioniz, I think that we have to wait for FM 13 (no so long anymore) and try the new classic mode for long-term play. I know your story too well ;) If you wanna be succesful in FM 12 and win the big matches you really need to adapt the tactics during the game. For me also giving specific man...

Hi tiggerteach, maybe you just use the wrong formation/tactic for the games in which you can't score despite many shots on goal. For example, I experienced that when I play against decent or good teams with two DMs i can't use my normal tactics with only 1 striker. With only 1 striker its very...

Thanks for all the hints and tips, Malhar and Tattie I know that simulating/holidaying is kind of stupid. I also prefer to control as much as I can, even adapt the tactics during the game and then watch the whole game (even not at the fastest speed). I think thats what FM12 is all about, and...

Hey guys, I just need some advice. I would love to play a game with main focus on long-term play and club development. Since my laptop is quite slow I'd like to buy and sell players, manage the staff and then simulate the whole season (takes ca. 1,5 h-2 h, e.g. overnight or when I am not a...

Hey Kiltman67, Yes, it brings new cash into the league ... On the other side, selling 3-4 key players for, let's say, around 5 mn each, can be really devastating for a Bundesliga club in the short term. I'am curious how they will will re-invest that money at the end of the season. I don't say...

Sometimes if you dominate a game and you are the better team (more possession/chances) then decreasing the Tempo and increasing Time-Wasting at the end of the game can lead to this problem and you will concede late goals. Be careful! If you are the better team for 85 minutes then this is because...

Dear all, After some months without FM12 I started a new game. Because i wanted a fast game with main focus on transfer policy and long-term development I only selected the German Bundesliga as playable and all other leagues as viewable-only. The player database started with only 6000-7000...
